Ingredients

5 large eggs , separated
1 cup granulated sugar , divided
1/3 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Topping:

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13'' pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Separate the eggs into two other
mixing bowls.
3. Add 3/4 cup sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks and mix on high speed until yolks are pale
yellow. Add 1/3 cup milk and vanilla and stir to combine. Pour the egg yolk mixture over the

the batter gently, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until combined.

Notes
Store Tres Leches Cake in the refrigerator, covered, for 3-5 days.
Make Ahead Instructions: You can make Tres leches cake 1-2 days in advance. In fact, I love to
make this cake the night before so that the cake has a lot of time to soak up the milk mixture.
Freezing Instructions: The baked and cooled cake can be frozen for up to 3 months, covered well.
Thaw overnight in the fridge before pouring the three milks on top.
